SAN FRANCISCO, May 17 -- Vontu Inc., the leader in Data Loss Prevention solutions, today announced the general availability of Vontu 4.0, the industry's first solution that monitors all network traffic and stops messages from being sent that violate security and privacy policies. Over 90% of Vontu's customers have successfully upgraded to Vontu 4.0, including global Fortune 100 companies, proving that Vontu 4.0 delivers enterprise-class scale, manageability and the ability to accurately block communications that violate policy before they leave the company.

Vontu continues to gain momentum in the market as the impact of data loss proceeds in negatively impacting companies' bottom lines:

Recent high-profile data security breaches have resulted in 5.8 million consumers being exposed to identity theft.

According to Gartner, 70% of security incidents that incur actual losses are inside jobs.

"The financial, legal and brand impact of recent incidents has elevated data loss prevention to an executive level issue," said Joseph Ansanelli, CEO of Vontu, Inc. "Vontu is the only solution on the market that is proven to deliver the scalability, prevention, manageability, and measurement that enterprises need to reduce their overall risk of confidential data loss."

Vontu 4.0 Features and Benefits:
Vontu 4.0 delivers unprecedented accuracy with best-in-class policy creation and tuning, user interface, and patent-pending detection technologies that inspect all network traffic and message content in real-time. Vontu 4.0 includes the following features:

Scalability

Network Line Speed: Vontu 4.0 has proven to scale to process Gigabit lines speeds with no additional switching hardware, no packet loss and no reduction in accuracy.

Employee and Message Volume: Vontu 4.0 can monitor millions of messages per day and hundreds of thousands of users. Vontu leads the industry in large scale deployments. One customer monitors the message volume of 170,000 employees in real-time.

Multi-National Support: To support customer requirements, Vontu can detect confidential data loss in a multi-national deployment with patent pending Exact Data Matching(TM) technology. One Vontu 4.0 customer currently monitors traffic in over twenty countries in a single deployment.

Support for Complex Networks: Large enterprises require a solution that can monitor network traffic at multiple exit points. In one customer deployment, Vontu has scaled to monitor 30 network exit points with centralized administration and reporting.

Consumer Database Protection: For customers with large consumer databases to protect, Vontu's Exact Data Matching detection technology and has proven to scale to 2.1 billion cells which means it could protect eight data records, such as Social Security Number, name, drivers license, for every person in the United States with near 100% accuracy.

Policy Enforcement: Customers have the option to block and quarantine the message for internal review, or redirect the message to an encryption gateway such as PGP Universal 2.0 if the recipient is authorized.

Centralized Administration: Unlike other solutions, Vontu has one central administration console to manage all data protection policies and manage multiple, distributed network monitors. This dramatically reduces TCO over solutions that require each network monitor to be managed separately.

Policy Creation: Vontu 4.0's intuitive Policy Authoring interface enables both business and information security users to configure and deploy pre-built policies to handle common threats as well as create their own policies to address company-specific threats.

Sender Identity Resolution: Vontu's sender identification API can access LDAP, Active Directory(R), DHCP and Proxy servers, to obtain a sender's identification information, as well as their manager, business unit and department information, to support rapid incident resolution, sender identity forensics, and incident investigation.

Risk Measurement and Executive Reporting

Executive Dashboards: Vontu 4.0 provides the Chief Security Officer and the entire executive team with actionable information that allows customers to measure and reduce risk over time.

Centralized Risk Management Reporting: Unlike other solutions, Vontu provides automatic, aggregated reporting across all deployed monitors. This greatly reduces TCO over other solutions where administrators are forced to pull logs or reports from each stand-alone monitor and manually aggregate company-wide statistics.

Business Unit and Department Level Remediation: Business units and departments including Human Resources, Compliance and Risk Management can securely measure and remediate the incidents that apply to their organization through Vontu's role-based access controls and data level security. This empowers individual business units and departments to review and remediate only those incidents relevant to their business.
